Derby's other charges include failure to provide audited annual accounts - also affecting their ability to meet profit and sustainability rules - and failing to pay money owed to HMRC.

BBC Radio Derby have approached the club for comment.

Meanwhile, Derby defender Craig Forsyth has been banned for three games after admitting a charge of violent conduct from their draw against rivals Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The incident, in the fifth minute of the match, was not seen by officials at the time.
